News Credits: 12 | WST Swoop (Bombardier) and Sludge (Jungle Warrior) Swoop: Great detail in a small size. Even has little mini landing gears. Very nice chrome. Splitting the blue chest seems very hard at first, I loosened the screws on the back to pry them apart easier. Missle Launchers take some hard screwing to get them into the wing-holes, but they'll fit in. Overall I really like Swoop.
Sludge: Nice details again. Overall the chrome is nice, but there is some missing on his right foot on mine. Pretty noticeable too. His fists were impossible for me to pry out, again I had to loosen the screws. Sludge's chromed sword is too big to fit in his hand. Still overall I like him too. I like all the WST and these two complete my set of five nicely.
Here's some pics (Note: I didn't know you could extend Swoop's arms down. Well you can, but the instructions didn't say it.  )  Read "Gears' Comedy Explosion!!!" How awesome is Gears?

I need something to ease my wait, as my mini dinos are taking their sweet time getting here from Agesthreeandup.

It took one hell of a long time to finally arrive, but I can say it was mostly worth it!  Junkion Exchange Feedback |

So... do Swoop's arms not extend down anymore?? I'll be pretty surprised & disappointed if they don't. |

EDIT: Just attempted it - the arms do extend, and actually quite easily at that. I still can't open my Swoop's chest for the life of me though.  Junkion Exchange Feedback |

I mostly appreciate that neither one has seperated robot hands like mini Snarl and Slag. There are some tightness and fit issues (Swoop's chest, Sludge's tail), and the springs on Sludge's dino legs are a bit much and pull the legs crooked on mine. For what they are though, they are quite excellent. How the Animated toy line REALLY came to an end |
